*“Ashram”*

After experiencing such a divine blessing from God, when I returned to Kangra, all arrangements for the Ashram land were completed! The land was officially registered under the Trust. Because of the faith and love of all of you, this work became possible.

When the land was acquired in two parts, the owner of the third adjoining piece also came forward. He too expressed his wish to give the land, and getting it was nothing less than a miracle. It felt as if we simply thought about it—and the work was done. The Trust also received funds, and now the third part was added! The land became a little larger. All of this was happening only by the grace of God!

But God still had more play left! He wanted to do something beyond this. And His intentions are only understood when the right time comes.

A thought had started coming into my mind—somewhere far in the mountains, at a small place, I should create a meditation space. I thought I would take that place on rent. This thought kept appearing again and again, without any clear reason.

That is why, when thoughts arise in our mind, we should surrender them at the feet of our Guru. Thoughts don’t come just because we want them to—sometimes they are good, sometimes bad. But when you offer your thoughts to your Guru, those thoughts become empty of negativity. If a thought is bad, it becomes good. If the thought is good, it turns into a blessing—an ashirvaad.

So you should never run away from your thoughts. You must hold them and see what they are trying to tell you. Because in this world, nothing has ever happened without a reason—and nothing ever will.
